Saturday Night...x

This would make you smile. I've found Ingham in the National History Archive, here -

and this line in particular caught my eye. I wonder where these chaps came from? The clue maybe in their names. :-)


"There were four professed brethren, John Ludham, sacrist; William Norwich, Robert Fryston, and John Ingham; and two who were not professed."

"Prior Catfield was still in office when the house was again visited by commission on 18 July, 1520."


...and this is just funny -


"The visitors of 1535 alleged in their secret comperta that the prior and one of the brethren were guilty of incontinence."


I should have read it all before writing the above. The names get better. Guess where this lot came from...x

PS - This is why it's called Chapel Bridge, I guess, d'uh...x :-)




105. THE HOSPITAL OF WYMONDHAM

Half a mile to the east of Wymondham stood Westwade chapel, originally built on a bridge. Here was a cell of Burton Lazars in Leicestershire, to which great lazar-house William de Albini, some time before 1146, gave sixscore acres of land in Wymondham parish. Thereupon the hospital of Burton Lazars built a small hospital or leper house on this site, in which was a master and two or three brethren. They sought alms of travellers who used this bridge.
